Thanks for the input. I may be a bit in over my head since I'm not
exactly sure what you mean. Fwiw compilation of the zaptel modules works
fine on FC4. Afaict the flags used in the zaptel Makefile are:

CFLAGS+=-I. $(RPM_OPT_FLAGS) -Wall -DBUILDING_TONEZONE
LCFLAGS=-fPIC $(CFLAGS) -DBUILDING_TONEZONE
KFLAGS=-I$(KINCLUDES) -O6
KFLAGS+=-DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -I$(KSRC)/drivers/net \
        -Wall -I. -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -I
$(KSRC)/drivers/net/wan -I$(KINCLUDES)/net
ifneq (,$(wildcard $(KINCLUDES)/linux/modversions.h))
  KFLAGS+=-DMODVERSIONS -include $(KINCLUDES)/linux/modversions.h
endif
KFLAGS_PPC:=$(shell if uname -m | grep -q ppc; then echo "-msoft-float
-fsigned-char"; fi)
KFLAGS+=$(KFLAGS_PPC)
KFLAGS+=$(shell if uname -r | grep -q 2.4; then if uname -m | grep -q
x86_64; then echo "-mcmodel=kernel"; fi; fi)

Is there anything in here that needs fixing or would the solution be
something way more elaborate?

Thanks and regards,
Patrick
